Lakeland Village sits along the shoreline of Lake Shishebogama and has about 106 sites for mobile or manufactured homes, offering a calm senior community for those aged 55 and up. The property covers about 1,040 feet of lake frontage with sand shoreline, so people living here can enjoy water views and deeded access to the Shishebogama lake chain. The homes come in different sizes, but many follow a ranch style, set on concrete foundations, and have peaked roofs and composite or aluminum siding. Some units, built around 1973, have 2 bedrooms and 1½ bathrooms, sunporches for morning coffee, patios for relaxation, and a large 3-season room, with a one-car attached garage.
Residents get water from a shared well and have a shared septic system. Cable, phone, and other utilities are available, and heating is by natural gas with forced air, while cooling uses wall or window units. Homes often come with electric or gas ovens, ranges, microwaves, refrigerators, electric water heaters, and circuit breaker electric service, with flooring choices of carpet or laminate. Grass mowing, garbage pickup twice a week, and road plowing are managed, so upkeep is easier, and off-street parking is ready for each home.
There's a clubhouse for gatherings, a playground in the Evergreen Estates section, and common indoor spaces for meeting other residents, plus a backyard deck to breathe in the Northwoods air. Lakeland Village has pet rules-indoor cats are welcome, but dogs aren't allowed. There are staff around 24 hours for emergencies, and help's available for moving from bed to a wheelchair or for checking insulin, and prepared meals can be provided to make life simpler. Social activities and movement are encouraged, with extras like arts, community groups, sporting clubs, business services, employment connections, weddings, and even motorcoach tours happening now and then. Some homes in areas managed by MHVillage Inc. offer private use, professional real estate services including MLS searches, and an on-site sales office. The community keeps a Facebook page, has a community manager named Kevin Thompson, and supports local cultural groups, investment funds, and gift programs. The association fee's $655, and both landscaped concrete patios and off-street parking are found throughout, giving seniors a peaceful place to live, connect, and maybe take in some lake views.
